On August 12th, Beijing’s Meteorological Bureau issued a blue alert for heavy rainfall. From 8 a.m. that day until 8 a.m. the next, some areas were expected to get more than 30 millimeters of rain per hour, with six-hour totals possibly exceeding 50 millimeters. In the mountains and foothills, that kind of downpour could trigger flash floods, mudslides, and landslides. And in low-lying areas, the biggest threat was waterlogging.

Many netizens posted videos, saying they couldn’t believe how rare it was to see such a massive storm right after the start of autumn.
